UNITED STATES GEORGES IMBERT, OF NUREMBERG, GERMANY.

PROCESS OF MAKING GHLORACETIC ETHER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 13, 1908.

Application filed May 1, 1907. V Serial No. 371,237.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGES IMBERT, a subject of the German Empire, and residing at N o. 54 Guaelstrasse, Nurcnrbe'rg, Bavaria, Germany, have invented a new and. useful Frocess of Producing Chloracctic Ether,-of which the following is a description.

In the British Patent No. 678 of 1906 the production of chlor-acetic ether from dichlorethoxy-ethylene and alcohol is described, the processbeing represented by the following 'equation: 7

C Cl H.OO H +C H OH= My experiments have shown, that the alcohol present in the reaction may be replaced by an equivalent quantity of water, the process being thus rendered considerably 20 cheaper. The process is then represented by the following equation ogol nloo n +HOII= n01 +oH,c1.oooc,u,.

Example: 141 kilos of di-chlor-ethoxyethylene are heated to the boiling point and 18 kilos of water are allowed to slowly flow in. Hydrochloric acid escapes in streams and chlor-acetic ether remains. The output is approximately quantitative.

I claim as my invention A process for producing chlor-acetic ether from (li-chlor-ethoxy-ethylene, which consists in subjecting the latter to the action of Waiter in the proportion of 1:1 grammolecu e.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
